phil_the_bassist Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Morning! I've got a hartke VX410 cab, and one cone's FUBAR. I managed to find a peavey 10" cone, but the framework was about 0.25" too big for the hole and didn't fit, unless i made the hole bigger. I'd rather find some straight drop in replacements than start routing out one hole, so does anyone know where I can get a hartke replacement? Failing that does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a direct replacement? Cheers in advance! [size=1]*edit*[/size] The cone in question is a hartke speaker model VLF1008, if this helps!

stingrayfan Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 That'll be your 5-string blowing it up. Taken it apart and seen what the drivers are? You might struggle to get a direct replacement - although it is a current model. Maybe worth giving their distributors Sound Tech a call.

Admittedly it's worse on the low end, but it wasn't my B, honest ! I'll give 'em a call, I wish I'd jotted the part number down when I was trying to swap it out with the peavey cone! Thanks for the offer mate but I'm not gonna be short of a cab. I've still got my 2x15 but I wanted this'un fixed up ready for the Bassbash (I'm on the list to bring it, and I can't back down now, can I!)

Merton Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I bet the Hartke paper drivers are made by Eminence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Might look/sound a bit strange if you stick a non-matching one in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] lol! you said that in the squeeky voice as well, didn't ya! If I was to go for a non Hartke cone, I'd rather replace the lot with a complete set of high quality cones. Obviously gettin one Hartke should be cheaper ( i hope) but I really don't wanna start altering the size of the holes. I'll shout up Eminence, see if they can recommend me a model cone that'll drop right in there...see if they do a discount for a set of 4! OOOH!, it'll then give me 3 decent cones for a BFM something-or-other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_the_bassist Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 *update* Just got a call back from my local music shop, They can get a hartke cone for me, but it'll cost £55. unfortunately, this is my best option as I can't find a way of gettin it meself. At least it's now gonna be fixed and useable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
